Week 45 Review: Luminosity
My name is Beatrice. When I was born, I was blessed with the Sight. I was immediately removed from my parents and enrolled in the Institution. At the age of twelve, I had my first true vision, earning my raven's wings. And when I turned seventeen, one of my visions came true. Things haven’t been the same since.
The Institution depends on me to keep the City safe from our enemy, the Dreamcatchers, but I'm finding it harder to do while keeping a secret from everyone, including my best friend Gabe. It is a secret that could put us all in danger. A secret that could kill me and everyone close to me.
But the enemy has been coming to me in my dreams, and I think I'm falling in love with him. He says they're coming. He says they're angry. And I think I've already helped them win.
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book! It did take me just a little while to get around to reading it, but yeah, I finally found time to read it, and I really enjoyed it! Some things threw me a bit, but with that ending, I can't wait for book #2!
There were a few things about this society that bugged me. Like the fact that only the Keeper's daughter could survive being born to a Seer, and be a Seer, which is why all seers but the Keeper's daughter are sterilized as babies. I could see it if there was a few bloodlines that did that, but just 1? That sounds like a cover up to me!
Or how to them, being "strong" means shooting their enemies. There are different kinds of strength, and isn't it kinda stupid to have them being part of the physical battle? Of course, they should be taught to defend themselves, but the Citizen's should be more the ones who do the protecting!
There were a few scenes that I felt awkward in, like when the Dreamcatchers are attacking, and the Seers don't shoot them as they're repelling out of the ships, just hiding when the Dreamcatchers start shooting, it seems a bit odd!
Favourite lines: "But if you told her that tomorrow we'd all turn into fish, she'd fill the arena up with water in preparation." That is a really funny thought, though not the main thought behind it.
I really enjoyed this book, and yeah, I can't wait for the sequel!

Teaser Tuesday #185, October 28th
Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
•Grab your current read
•Open to a random page
•Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
•BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
•Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Today's teaser comes from Luminosity by Stephanie Thomas, page 91.
"It's a handsome smile, one that makes me hesitate. In one of our preparedness classes, our instructor told us that the things we should not trust are the things we want to trust most."
Well, that kinda sucks! What a way to live, huh? What about you guys? Happy reading!
